PLow ATTACHMENT To WAGON-GEARING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 276,975, dated May 1,18183.

` 4 Application illeduly 24, i882. (No model.)

`To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. KREMSER, of Omaha, in the countyofDouglas and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Mechanism for Attaching Plows to Wagon-Gearing, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart ofthis specification,

in which similar letters ot reference indicate corresponding parts in`all the gures.`

Figure l is a perspective view of my improvement, shownas applied totherearpart of a wagon-gearing. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of theforwardpart of the plowbeam.

Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view ot one of the adjnstingslides auditsguide-bars.

The object of this invention is to formsulky-- plows bylcouuectingordinary plows with the "running-gearing of wagons.

The invention consists ina mechanism for attaching plows to wagou-geariugs, constructed with two pairs of upright tonguedbars secured to theaxle and bolster of a wagongearing by a plate placed upon the forwardside of the said axle and bolster, clampingblocks placed upon the outersides of the lower ends of the upright bars, and clamping-bolts placedabove and below `the said axle and bolster.A Upon the upright bars slideblocks, to

which is hinged the bail, conuectedwith the plow-beam by clampingplatesand bolts. The

, sliding blocks are connected by hinged bars with bent levers, whichare provided with pawls and catch-bars, so that the plows can be readilyadjusted and controlled, as will be hereinafter fullydescribed. A V

I will describe my improvement as applied to the rear part of awagon-gearing, but the forward part of a wagon-gearing can be used ifdesired. a f

A represents thelwheels, B the axle, (l the au ordinary wagon-gearing.

` bolster, and D the stakes, of the rear partof i used, and which aresecured at a little distance e apart to the rear @side ofthe axle B andbolster C. The upper parts'of the b ars E are secured in place by boltsF, which pass through them at the upper side of the bolster C, andthrough a plate,

cility.

G, placed against the forward side of the bolster C and axle B. Theouter sides of the lower parts of the bars E are corrugated transverselyto correspond ywith the corrugations formed in the inner sides ot' twoclamping-blocks, H, one for each pair of bars E.

I are bolts which pass through the (enters ot' the clamping-blocks H andthrough the plate `Gr below the axle B. e Upouthe adjacent sides ofthbars E ot" each pair are formed ribs or tong J, which tit intocorresponding grooves K ,lformed iu the opposite sides of the slidingblocks L, so as to keep the said blocks in place as they move up auddown.

lll

To a lng formed upon the outer side of the v are hinged the hooked' endsof the bar or bail Q. The bar or bail Q is bent twice at acute angles,so that its straight middlelpart will be longer than the distancebetween the sliding blocksL, to allow the plow-beam R to be adjustedlaterally to cnt a wider or narrower furrow, as may be desired, and alsoto allow the attachment to be secured to the axle and bolster nearer toor farther from their centers, as may be desired. y .e

To the upper and lower sides ot' the 'plowbeam R are secured plates S bybolts T, pass i ing across the sides of' theA plow-beam It and throughlugs formed upon the end parts of the side edges of the said plates. Thelugs ot' the plates `S are slotted to receive the bolts T, so

that the clamping-plates S cau be applied to wide" and `narrow V To themiddle part of theupper plate, S, is bolted a cap-plate, W,`which formstherewith plow-beams with equal fai a bearing for the middle part of thebar or bail` Q. `The clamp-bearing S T W is kept in place adjustablyupon the bail Q by collars V, placed e upon the said bail and secured byscrews W.

To the rear arms ot' one the levers N is hin ged the forked upper endofthe connecting-bar X, the lower end of which is secured by a bearing,Y, to the middle part of the bail Q.

With this construction, by operating the lever N placed at the vlandside of the plow and provided with the connecting-bar X the plow can beraised from and lowered to the ground, the other lever, N, being`intended for leveling the plow or incliningit to one or the otherside.When the lever N is operated to raise the plow from-thc ground the plowis first turned toward the mold-board side of the plow, which causes thesoil to slide oft the said mold-board, and thus allows the plow to beraised more easily.

With each of the levers N is connected a pawl, Z, sliding in .aguide-tube, ce, attached to the lower part ofthe said lever N, andconnected by a rod or chain, b, with a small bent eis the drivers seat,the lower end of the standard f of which is secured to the bolster Candfaxle B by a socket or other suitable means.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to'securebyLettersPatent- 1. A mechanism for attaching plows to wagon-gearin gs,constructed substantially as herein 'shown and described, and consistingof the two pairs of tongued bars E and their fastening-plate andclamping-blocks and bolts G H F I, the sliding blocks L, connecting-barsM X, bent levers N, and the bail Q, as set forth.

2. In a. mechanism for attaching plows to wa gon-gearin gs, thecombination with the axle and bars E and the sliding block L, of thebail Q, the hinged bars M X, the bent levers N, and rack-plates d,substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the plow can bereadily adjusted and controlled, as set forth.
